Day to Day

From day to day and every day
And Yesterday and never day
To stay to say to go away
And yet to choose to stay today
To come and go and never know
The sky above the ground below
Moving gentle still and slow
grow and grow and grow and grow
And growing left the world behind
Out of sight and out of mind
Blinking blighted eyes are blind
Fumble fingers features find
Darkness draws and darkness drains
In the dark a truth remains
Darkness pulls us from the light
Darkness takes away the sight

This has a spell-like quality, I love it. It's our Pick of the Day. Do share on social media. (The painting is by Whistler and in the public domain.)
